Frozen Planet II
NATURAL WORLD 8PM, BBC1, IPLAYER (BOX SET)
As always, we’ve had incredible animal footage in this series which again has refused to shy away from the everyday realities of climate change. This final episode recaps on horrifying stories of baby harp seals floating to their deaths and Adelie penguin chicks succumbing to hyperthermia to highlight how global warming is affecting the planet. As we meet scientists and those battling to understand these changes, we learn that while there is still hope, we really must act now. ★★★★★ NH
